I Finally Tried the Popular Skims Tanks, and Here Are My Thoughts.

      Since Skims debuted, it seems like everything the brand does ends up appearing on my For You page. Over the last few months, the algorithm has been quietly (and sometimes overtly) persuading me that the Skims tank top is the ultimate basic that I must try. Having already owned Skims bodysuits, undergarments, and even pajamas, I realized I hadn't yet experienced their tank tops. To be frank, the price is somewhat off-putting. When Hanes offers a great tank top for just $5, I tend to avoid the pricier options, but the moment has arrived—I'm going to try them all.

      I mean, it's about time. I needed to uncover what all the buzz was about. After finally locking myself in a fitting room with every style available in the Nordstrom lingerie section, I have some insights—primarily, I understand why people keep likening the built-in-bra style to a push-up bra disguised as loungewear.
